deny IP's from executing c.cgi ......... possible?

['Plat]

Using .htaccess or some other way, can i block access from certain IP's to not use c.cgi ?

You can use this:<br /><br />order allow,deny<br />allow from all<br />deny from 12.220.204.214<br />deny from 12.220.204.<br /><br />(the second line would block the whole Class C, not just a single IP)<br /><br />...or you could use mod_rewrite.<br /><br />But both these methods will block access to whole directories (or sites, depending on where you locate your htaccess), not single files.<br /><br />Otherwise, as far as I know, you would need to be able to block the IP's from within c.cgi (or if it were encoded and you couldn't modify it, filter everything through another script first).

i figured it out.<br /><br />made a small php script in the main public_html directory that redirects to c.cgi.<br /><br />works nicely
